The Arctic-Yukon-Kuskokwim Sustainable Salmon Initiative (AYK SSI) released a research and monitoring blueprint addressing declined Western Alaska chum salmon populations entitled: “ARCTIC-YUKON-KUSKOKWIM CHUM SALMON RESEARCH AND MONITORING ACTION PLAN: EVIDENCE OF DECLINE OF CHUM SALMON POPULATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE RESEARCH AND MONITORING.”
The Chum Salmon Action Plan was developed by the AYK SSI’s six member Scientific Technical Committee. The centerpiece of the Action Plan is a set of six strategic research and monitoring priorities aimed at advancing our understanding of the causes for the decline and, in turn, to promote the rebuilding and sustainable management of AYK chum salmon stocks.
